Freelance client onboarding: a checklist for starting projects smoothly

Editorial follow-up: a kickoff message template

Quote:We will begin with [milestone] after receiving [inputs]. Please place feedback in [location] and have [approver] send one consolidated response by [date]. If a requirement changes, we will confirm its effect on scope and timing before proceeding.

Fill in the actual arrangements and invite corrections. A summary is useful only when both sides understand it; sending a checklist does not establish agreement by itself.
